其实我也是。我对宗教并不算了解，可我很乐意接触到不同的宗教文化。我有一些信仰宗教的朋友，很多时候我都是从文化的角度来分享他们的经历。和我一起去教堂的朋友就从小信仰基督教，而且非常虔诚。

Actually, I’m the same. I can’t say I understand religion at all, but I’m willing to have some contact with different religious cultures. I have some religious friends, and I often find myself related to their experiences on a cultural level. The friends I went to church with have been Christians since they were little, and they’re really devoted.

我想我永远都没办法理解这种虔诚。宗教信仰是个人的自由，我不会干涉他们，但也没有办法深入其中。我们这一代人大多数都是没有宗教信仰的。不过现在信基督教的人在中国真是越来越多了，相反中国的第一大宗教-佛教的教徒大多都是老一辈的人了。

I don’t think I’ll ever be able to understand that kind of devotion. Religious faith is a personal freedom, so I would never interfere with others’ faith, but I myself could never get that deeply involved. Most people of our generation aren’t very religious. However, nowadays more and more people in China are becoming Christians. On the other hand, the followers of China’s primary religion—Buddhism—are mainly from the older generation.

是的。我认识的朋友中有一部分人就是因为受到家庭传统的影响而信佛或基督的。也有很多人和我一样只是从文化的角度来看待宗教。不过无论是何种宗教，我都主张用正确的态度对待这种信仰，而不能过分依赖。

Yeah. Amongst my friends, there are some who are Buddhist or Christian because of the influence of family tradition. But there are also many people who are like me, and just look at religion from a cultural perspective. Still, no matter what one’s faith is, I will always advocate that people should maintain a proper attitude toward religion, but not be excessively dependent on it.

藏传佛教融合了很多西藏当地的文化习俗和政治因素，再加上它选用的经文也不同，所以在信仰体系、修行的方法和具体的目的上都有所不同。总的来说，藏传佛教对喇嘛异常的尊崇、有活佛转世的思想、教派繁多，而且宗教与政治紧密结合；还有它的仪式也特别复杂。这些都是比较明显的区别。
